More than one sire?

Can you have more than one sire per clutch, like dogs and cats, or does a snake's body only allow for a clutch to be fertilized by one regardless of how many pairings?

Split clutches are possible, though I do not know what the odds are or how exactly everything work with them. I know that some forum members have had them so hopefully they will chime in.

There can be multiple sires. But from what I've seen, its not that common. One of my friends had a duel sired clutch this past season.

Yes, a few years ago I hatched this clutch which has at least three fathers. I bred a female pied to four males, a pewter, bumble bee, lesser and pied.

How interesting! Ive heard of duel sire but never more than that. I bet tgat clutxh was very exciting!:gj:

It happens there's also the down side to it, when something different or all out unexpected pops up you don't know who's responsible for it. Then can take years to work it out, there's a thread on here where someone ran into that issue late last year I think.

True, hadn't thought of that. If I did this though it would be with basic morphs just to try

Thought I would add this link...Most people don't realize it can happen with Humans too...All you dads with Twins, etc. better get their DNA checked!!! LOL
